    Luft WHW Plastic Flags - How Many In The Set?

    Over the last few years, I've picked up three of these plastic Luftwaffe WHW flag pins, and was wondering how many were in this set - I'm talking specifically to Luftwaffe? I've seen the red Flak flag, but is there a blue LW Medical flag? Black LW Pioneer flag? I'd love to see any LW WHW flags out there - singles or groups. I did a forum search, and it didn't turn up much :-(

    Thanks!

    <center>Hello Scott:
    The LW only had unit flags of four colors - Yellow(flight),
    red(flak), brown(signals), and green(paratroops). Thus
    I would think that the WHW LW flag pins would be limited
    to just those four colors, at least those are the only ones
    I've seen over my nearly 40 years of collecting flags and
    related items. Nice collection by the way!</center><center>

      Thanks - that should make it easier to complete the set!

      Anyone out there with a red Flak they want to part with?

        ...green paratroop WHW pin version ???

        <center>Scott:
        You may also need to find a green paratroop version,
        not the Regiment General Goring, but one with the
        big eagle like on the yellow, red, and brown LW types.
        But I don't know for sure if a WHW pin example was
        ever made of same - the green LW flag is shown in the
        WW2 LW soldiers handbook, and at least one of
        the actual flag examples is known too. </center>

          Thanks for the clarification. Should be a good challenge to pick up the last two...

            These flag tinnies are a favorite of mine! I love flags, but don't have the room or $$$ to start collecting them.

            I think there were two different types of flag tinnies; those made of silver-colored plastic (best detail and painting) and those made of white plastic (poorer quality painting and quite brittle). The silver plastic ones seem to be a bit easier to find, in my experience.


            Here is a pic of my collection so far. Enjoy!

            P.S. I'm willing to trade my doubles for those that i don't already have!

              <center>Hello John:
              Nice collection of WHW flag pins you have there! I have
              several too, but I've never actually bought one myself, those
              that I have were given to me by my local collecting buddy as
              I really just look for full size flags of all nations & periods. I
              placed one of my WHW flag pins on my computer along with
              some of my other found or given to me items...</center>

                    Hi

                    Here is an image of my humble collection of them. The scan is not the best, I'm afraid.

                    I also have 3 'homemade' ones in wood that I will have to photograph for you. They are actually quite well made.

                      Tieste lists 20 in all. The were provided as tokens for a donation on the "Tag der Wehrmacht" on the 16th and 17th of March 1940. I am wondering if there are more than on set produced at different times for celebration of different events as they flags that appear to be waving in the wind aren't part of the pictured examples in the Tieste book. They are as follows:
                      Artillerie
                      Aufklärungsabteilungen
                      Fahr- und Kraftfahreinheiten
                      Flak-Artillerie
                      Fliegertruppe
                      Führer-Begleitbattalion
                      Infanterie
                      Jäger
                      Kavallerie
                      Kraftfahrkampftruppe
                      Kriegsmarine/Marineteile an Land
                      Luftnachrichtentruppe
                      Nachrichtentruppe
                      Nebeltruppe
                      Pioniere
                      Pioniere (Mot.)
                      Regiment General Göring
                      Reichskriegsflagge
                      Schützen und Kraftschützen
                      Trageflagge der Kriegsschiffe

                      I have complete set but getting to it to scan or photograph may be a complicated task.
